Join The Harvard-Radcliffe Institute on June 17 at noon for a tour of Cooking Up Change: Women’s Agency and Community Building Through Cookbooks with the curator Erin LaBove, who will discuss each element of the exhibition. Cooking Up Change explores the history and cultural significance of community cookbooks drawn from the Schlesinger Library’s extensive collection, spanning the 19th to the 21st centuries. The collection, including more than 4,300 community cookbooks, showcases the efforts of women’s groups within a variety of organizations to raise funds for their religious, educational, and civic causes while also documenting the social and cultural history of their varied communities and culinary traditions. The exhibit is in the Lia and William Poorvu Gallery at the Library, 3 James Street in Cambridge. Free. Register at https://www.radcliffe.harvard.edu/event/2026-cooking-up-change-curator-led-tour-4
